DIY DIP N' DOTS

Get your sweet teeth ready for our mash up with the Culinary Science Department at the Culinary Institute of America. We work one on one with the degree program students to focus on the sphere and dive into making dip n dots, a creative spin on the root beer float, and of course giant dip n dots. We even got our hands on ice cream that lights on fire. 

All that and the liquid nitrogen is sure to bring the hype in what is our last video of this series at Culinary School. Let us know what you want us to cook up with the CIA for our next trip to the Institute.

  • 1 Cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 Cups Melting Chocolates

Instructions:

  1. Begin making a creme anglaise (cream on glaze).  Do this by combining heavy cream and milk to a sauce pan. To that add tremelene, an invert sugar using a rubber spatula.  In a separate bowl whisk in egg yolks and sugar together.  Add one ladle of milk/cream mixture to the egg mixture to bring to temp and then combine it all in the sauce pan.  Bring to a nape', 82F. 
  2. Separate into 2 bowls and flavor them with strawberry puree and banana puree and blitz together.
  3. Make the chocolate sorbet by combining water and sugar and heat, whisking together until the sugar dissolves.  Then add the cocoa powder for around 2 minutes.  Then pour the liquid mixture into a bowl atop the melting chocolates. Whisk until combined, cool, and set in the freezer. 
  4. For normal size Dippin' Dots use pipettes to drop chilled ice cream into liquid nitrogen.  For the giant freeze the flavors into the sphere silicone mold. Then Press the two sides together creating the sphere. Drop the ice cream balls into the liquid nitrogen. 

Make sure to use safety precaution when preparing foods with liquid nitrogen.
